Having thought more, at the moment custom filetype files can't have
custom keywords (only keywords for the matching lexer), which might be
annoying. Hopefully soon that will be possible though.

BTW, people can't commit without permission to the SVN repo. I'm not
sure whether to add a NesC filetype to the core if it won't have a
wide appeal. Maybe for now just post the patch here in an attachment,
then at least anyone that wants it can see it.
